• What Really Happened o...
This channel is slowly turning into a bizarro horror version of a 90s educational kids show and I'm here for it
kinda reminds me of old crashbox skits on HBO kids
Better watch mojo
Reminds me of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared.
Didn't ask
Here to say the same lol. It's nostalgic.
The metal net being used to stop people from flying out just makes me imagine a cartoon where someone hits the net at high speeds and just goes right through it and comes out the other side in cubes
The netting wasnt made of steel, I think it was some kind of synthetic or plastic material, but the netting was supported by steel rings lining the slide.
The rings are what ultimately Decapitated the poor kid, but the other injuries that whent unstated by the park were of people suffering lascerations from the netting.
Also one of the women riding behind the kid, had her nose broken after the kid's head flew back & hit her after the incident.
@@tehskullmunkymedia594 I seriously cannot fathom the horror of her realizing what just hit her in the face.
True story.
Yeah the entire time he was describing it I was imagining a cheese grater type effect, and then he tells us about the kid, hoo boy.
That one horribly edited Final destination scene😂😂😂
Remember: Almost all of these decapitations are internal. The skull was separated from the spine internally which still counts as a decapitation.
It makes a lot more sense now how there were so many decapitations. Thank you!!
@@appledragonfiend2839 that's exactly why I mentioned it. I watched a documentary on Schlitterbahn and the kid was decapitated but it was internal. His head didnt roll down the slide 🤣
Oh wow thankyou for that information 💯💯
@@nails0982newspapers misrepresented it then. Because I remember local ones making it seem very grisly , bloody, as the body slid down the rest of the way in front of the mom and other family at the bottom to f the slide
@@nails0982yeah that part sounded like a story a little kid would make up and tell his friends 😂😂
My grandma worked at Lagoon in Utah in the 80s, and she witnessed a kid get cut in half from the waist down after the kid fell off the Puff the fire-breathing dragon ride. The ride went around 3 times and back then you could unbuckle your own seatbelt so he thought the ride was over after the first go around, and since he was in the back cart, when the ride when off to go around a second time he fell off and fell halfway through the railing before catching himself. The ride takes about 10 seconds to go around each time, and while the kid was pulling himself up, the cart came back and hit him, cutting him in two. My grandma, who was emptying a garbage near the line entrance, said the kids' parents tried to pull his upper half out from under the cart. The ride still exists today
When my dad was younger him and his friends would call it “Puff the killer” instead of Puff the magic dragon. I remember hearing that story and I still can’t look at that ride without fear.
Holy mother f*ck that is f*cked
Wow, the amount of things that went wrong / was neglected for that to happen is pretty mind blowing.
Like, not even counting the concept of the ride itself (multiple laps combined with self release belts), which is just blatantly asking for precisely that situation to occur.
-Ride operators/personel informing customers on the ride before departure?
-Emergency breaks??
-ANYONE AT ALL overseeing and being on hand, should something occur….?
Like, even if all else goes to shit, surely two adults (maybe even one) deployed at the tracks would be able to pull the boy up in those 10 seconds unless he was seriously stuck!
This really just sounds like one single employee pushing ”START” and then walking off until it’s time to push Start again.
@@josefineli4604 Having a person there would cost money. Having a person there that actually gives a shit costs even more money. Also, it's Utah. There are no preventable accidents in Utah, only the lord working in mysterious ways.
Had to do some research on this because "cut in half" was too brutal. According to reports the kid died from getting hit in the head by an oncoming coaster car. He fell off the car before an incline and slipped through the track. He got up not realizing the car was coming around and when he stuck his head up he got hit and died. Still heartbreaking but he wasn't cut in two
i went to school with someone who rode the ride of steel at the same time as the amputee vet. he watched him get thrown and spent a week in his room refusing to talk to anyone, followed by months of therapy. he said the vet was super excited to ride and really wouldn’t take no for an answer so at least he went out on a high note
“On a high note”…. 😂😂😂
very high note
Yeah but I feel bad for your classmate, from what I read he was belligerent insulting the staff for telling him it wasn’t a good idea. So he died traumatizing everybody and got the park in hot water, honestly they should’ve just told him no and let him pitch a fit and leave looking back his family and everyone else would’ve been better off.
@@lukebrown3658you couldn’t do it todays age…they would pull the discrimination card and cry if they said no, but again if they said yes and he died people would moan anyway
So they where probably stuck between a rock and a hard place back then😂
Bet he'd never felt so high
Dude, a 17 year old kid died at Six Flags over Georgia EXACTLY the same way as that dude at Santa Clara, CA! He hopped 2 fences, was trying to get a hat, and was decapitated by some girl's leg. Happened in 2008.
Isn’t that crazy?! I’m glad other people noticed to. I had to replay that part bc I couldn’t get over how it’s the same exact story just different places and people.
People should really not hop fences around rollercoasters!
god daaaaamnnnnn that's scary
@szechuon6971 Same. Was waiting to see if he'd cover that one then thought I had somehow screwed up the location, but I remember seeing it in the paper in Georgia. Googled it and the article's still out there.
I came here to mention this as well! I haven't looked it up if this actually happened at both places or not, but my first thought is that the location was mixed up somehow cause this sounds EXACTLY the same as the one that happened here in Georgia
Ban hats and girls' legs riding roller coasters!
Hey, theme park technician here (of some undisclosed park). Video was awesome and I wanna put some context for various parts throughout. Cheers.
6:30 - Yeah they don’t allow this anymore…😅 Most rides have a set of extremities that you can’t go without if you want to ride. In case you’re disabled but still meet the requirements, they have designated seats near the middle of each train with full body harnesses they have to wear if missing any limbs.
7:04 - Whether a ride re-opens or not depends on how authorities rule the cause of death. For instance if someone dies due to a mechanical failure, whether it be on the manufacturer or the technician performing maintenance, the ride usually stays down until they revamp or demolish it. If it’s deemed not the ride or park’s fault, the ride’s usually allowed to open after a few weeks. Depeneds on how grim the situation is. On top of that when someone dies, until the cause is ruled out, every single ride of that model must close across the world and must also undergo revamps if the cause was deemed a mechanical failure, so there’s a fun fact.
13:07 - You’d be surprised how many times I’ve heard guests ask to get off a coaster at the top of a lift hill rather than stay seated. Makes sense in the moment but those harnesses and restraints are meant to keep you there for a reason. You’re safer seated in a coach than the operator walking up the stairs is.
20:50 - Was a big fan of Clarence back in the day and I only recently discovered that the condition of the water slide in Season 1 Episode 44 was more than likely a hit piece on the Verrückt, specifically the bit where the slide not so subtly breaks off from the tower..
21:32 - If it’s worth anything, they still show us this situation during orientation to make it very clear what happens when you’re not paying attention as an operator. Effective stuff.
23:50 - Again, you’d be **surprised** how often common sense is lost by people among roller coasters. In one of the Six Flags parks, (can’t remember off the top of my head), a single Batman ride has the claim to **2** decapitations, seeing as somehow someone didn’t learn the lesson the first time someone’s head was blown off.
One last tidbit, there’s a very good reason the operators are so strict regarding phone use on the rides. Long story short, one of the most common non-fatal injuries in theme parks are flying phones hitting passengers in the face. No joke if you’re recording on a ride and your phone slips out of your hand, there is a decent chance that it will strike a guest behind you and break their face in. Sometimes riding in the back of a coaster is the more thrilling part, but you gotta keep your eyes peeled and be ready to duck.
Other than that these things are perfectly safe!
Interesting stuff. But who is Clarince and season of what?
The Batman ride you’re thinking of may be the one in Georgia. I know in 2008 a kid jumped two fences, got too close, and was decapitated. I don’t know of a second one, but that was big news here for a while.
"can’t remember off the top of my head"... Ba dum tss.
@@MrDmerch17 Yeah looks like it. His friend was with him and didn't get hurt but can you imagine witnessing that? That has to fuck you up
Hell yeah! Thank you for your service
Dude you missed out dreamworld in Australia where a couple literally got munched up in the gears of a water ride and turned into actual meat pulp in front of their family at the end of the ride. Literally turned to liquid meat and bone
*I'm sorry, they fucking what*
@@crimsonfox_yeah yeah look it up, it was massive here in Aus when it happened it was at dreamworlds white water world, the family members got bucked of the ride into the gears in front of their family and churned into meat and bone goop right before their eyes it was horrific
It was on the thunder river rapids ride
@@crimsonfox_yeah I remeber i was on the same ride the week that family had their face literally grinded up by gears upsidedown and underwater. would prolly not be in my list of top ways to die
The Thunder Rapids ride in Queensland on the Gold Coast, was bloody awful.
"The recovery of the bodies went on into the early hours of the next morning with some paramedics requiring counseling due to the trauma of the scene."
The genuine fun and enjoyment Hunter has with these characters is the absolute best. I never expected to see this channel turn into this but my god am I here for it.
With the announcement on Meatcanyon on how he is feeling about the animation side of his business before; I agree. You can tell how much fun he has with this, Creepcast, and Creamcrew. Throwing on one of his episodes while driving is a good time.
I love this channel, I love creepcast, everything daddy meat makes is always of the highest quality and hilarity
Best channel on YT now, its like the perfect blend of trolling, animation, investigative journalism and meat.
No... Not enough meat...
Meat never enough…..
@@chrisramos6101MOOOORRRREEEE MEEEAAATT
I wouldn't credit him with it investigative journalism just yet. He is mostly doing basic googling for research on this. He could definitely do more for research.

Winslow is my new favorite meat character
@DorotheaBanet 🛑🚨DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK🛑🚨
The best meat companion
Agreed 👍🏻
I hooe he is a recurring character, or gets a character arc or something
i love the little anxiety disorder ridden fellow
Oh dude Schlitterbahn! I actually went on that ride with my step siblings when I was about 11 or 12. Before you even get in line, they had an attendant weigh you and if you didn't hit a certain weight, they wouldn't let you on the ride. I was just at the limit, they had sat me in between my (step) brother and sister, and despite being strapped to my seat we were going so fast I was airborne in my seat for maybe 1-2 seconds. By the time we got to the bottom, they were laughing at me because I looked terrified. I'm an adrenaline junkie and always will be but something about the Verruckt never sat right with me. 2 years later the incident happened and eventually they shut down the park entirely.
There's something kinda next level about Papa Meat's content lately, the way his stuff is evolving, it's getting sooo good. The props and set really add something different, combined with his charisma and presentation of interesting topics. One of my favorite channels lately
Really hoping the props and costume characters become more prominent
Is no one gonna talk about the “green prop” on his desk 😭
the way he interacts with the characters he makes is so well done and realistic, like it sounds like how he talks to anybody else in his videos, its seamless
Yeah but he should do his pure animation videos again even if takes some months
@@bernardoheusi6146 I'm sure we'll still be getting cartoons here and there. But it looks like he's really enjoying making this type of content. He should follow his creative energy where it takes him IMO
The panic thing is probably involuntary. They feel trapped by the seat belt so they take it off. A lot of scuba divers who panic do the same thing and rip off their masks and equipment in an attempt to breathe better even though they’re still under water.
It's weird how the brain works. It's trying to frantically save you but actually makes it worse
as someone who's been in a near-death scuba accident-to-be, I can confirm that you feel the panicked urge to do irrational things in a state of intense fear.
but for whatever reason I was able to bypass that urge with my logical brain in that moment and talk myself out of doing the thing my panic told me would save me (rapidly ascending aka severe injury and/or death). i instead followed a logical set of processes that i knew were more conducive to my survival (putting on my mask, plugging my nose, breathing normally) that somehow kicked in anyways. the brain is weird. idk.
@@MissStrawberryGunThis phenomenon has been so foreign and difficult to understand for me because I’ve always felt completely at peace underwater despite having multiple occasions that I suppose could have led to panic situations. But my mom needed 2-3 attempts to pass her open water certification as a result of simple things going wrong.
@chilibeer3912 I'm the same way, I fell asleep once on the bottom for around 20 mins. I was diving for a Charter collecting material for customers to find archeological artifacts. I was using a Brownie Third Lung and it was only about 12' but it was the best nap I've has my entire life. My other dive buddy finally came down because it only usually takes 15 min to fill the bags to check on me and woke me up. 😂
Isn’t that just something caused by decompression sickness? Swimming down thinking you’re going up, taking off your mask to breathe only to realize you’re underwater, yk?
Imagine struggling to get a bandaid out of your mouth while simultaneously seeing a Dippin Dots cart fall into the lazy river you almost swallowed a bandaid in
😂
Dude... I was at Disney with the wife and kids when my wife pulled one of the kids out of this water fountain thing near a restroom. Why did she do that? Because the attraction was using the same recirculating water and some woman had just come out of the restroom. That woman then used the water attraction with recirculating water to clean the liquid feces that had coated her legs from explosive diarrhea off in that water. 🤢🤮
We quickly told some staff members (or crew members or whatever they're called) and watched as they basically just stood there confused as to what to do since none knew how to turn the flow of water off... Or tell people to get out of it apparently.
That's the moment then papa meat is born 😂
I ugly laughed at that story. As a midwestern hillbilly I can say it’s the most midwestern hillbilly shit I’ve heard 😅😭
@@RandomPerson-nd2eyoh my god that is so nasty!!!
I noticed that there are 2 kinds of parks on this list.
The ones that were honest and just had to pay money.
The ones that tried to hide evidence and got hit with manslaughter charges.
Cause and effect might be backwards there. The guys who knew they were just going to pay money didn't have anything to hide.
@@ShadowRulah no. lol They all caused someone to get injured or killed. Watch the video, he explains the different situations with each.
The production quality is unmatched this shit is so awesome

Absolutely Not
@@kevinmunn666nah bro
@DorotheaBanet
Your sick
Agree 💯
Special note: The majority of _modern day_ rollercoaster and thrill ride injuries and deaths are sadly caused more by human error than straight malfunctions. Meaning that if the operator is having a bad day or is lethargic or just incompetent, they’re more likely to get you killed more than anything. Especially since many rides, particularly high thrill rollercoasters, will not even move from the station the moment it detects that someone’s not buckled in (hence why operators have to shut empty seats in) or have physics working in their favor (using water-weighed handlebars/harnesses) to prevent people from flying out of their seats.
Well the problem there is the operators are also under pressure to get people in as fast as possible so they're going to make mistakes and miss things.
Well The Woman Getting A Tear In Her Heart From The Rollercoaster 🎢 Is Just SCARY.
Regarding the death of that Caleb kid: it came out that the ride operators told him he couldn't go on it because he was too small, but his father Scott threatened them with the whole "don't you know who we are" card. So ultimately the father got blamed for the death and the charges against the park were dropped.
Charges got dropped because the jury saw inadmissible evidence about the ride construction. They still paid a settlement.
How about charges against the father? I’m sure the emotional turmoil of that is quite the punishment though.
this was the same thing with the amputee which got propelled from the ride of steel, they threatened to sue the park for discrimination if they didn't allow him to go on the ride.
What’s your source of information? I cannot find this anywhere after going to multiple, multiple news sites. Cite your facts.
@@AFiedNamedChap he made it the fuck up
Remember, he is a double amputee veteran, being thrown helpless was definitely having flashbacks
This channel is slowly turning into a demented adult version of Peewee's Playhouse and I'm all for it.

How is it possible that every time Papa Meat says "how you doin how you doin" it feels like someone is tucking me in my bed in a comfy blankie to get ready for some super comforting storytelling. I am a 29yo man and this is about people dying in amusement parks.

Right?!
@@yourwife1111this comment just made me realize that me watching commentary vids before I go to sleep is just like someone reading a bedtime story to me😂
Bro 100% same 😂
I worked at our county fair and we put every single ride together by hand. Every single light and light cover you see, every single piece of giant metal moved by 30 alcoholic and cracked out man woman and child on the crew. We had an Ali Baba and we sent the most tweaked out tweak 50 ft up........ legit just threw him up 15 ft then watched him monkey climb the entire structure putting in lights and ratcheting in large pieces of metal. Ferris wheel too I think the ferris wheel was 70 ft but looked much more doable and he actually had tie downs on the ferris wheel. Him going 50ft straight up with a box of light bulbs will always stick with me. I've never rode an Ali Baba since. That dude never slept and he was the safest operator there.
Nahhhh bro that last sentence is haunting
What is an Ali Baba?
Ur so funny lol “the most tweaked out tweak” 😭😭😭
I don’t fw rides for this reason 😭 and because I hate fun
Racist
Oh my gosh...At Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, a larger woman fell off a ride called the "Texas Giant" and died. My family and I went there the weekend after that happened because we already planned the trip and had the tickets... and it was DEAD...the park was so eerie and had this heavy feeling everywhere you went.
Specifically it was the New Texas Giant that caused the incident, the difference between it and the old Texas Giant was a completely new layout dome by Rocky Mountain Construction, or RMC and a different set of trains made by Gerstlauer. Gerstlauer and Six Flags were both sued by the family, they also sued each other, it was revealed during these hearings that Six Flags failed to use the test seat provided by Gerstlauer, which could have prevented this incident, since then Six Flags no longer works with Gerstlauer, however they still work with RMC who started making their own in house trains.
I live near Darien and went to school with someone who was friends with a ride operator who was working on the ride when the veteran was thrown from it. From what I've heard, the guy was belligerent and refused to listen to any of the safety advice. The ride operator was 16 I believe and was basically threatened into letting the man onto the ride.
That's also what I heard. My understanding is that he was told it wasn't safe for him and got very pushy.
Yeah I read that, too. He told them they couldn't discriminate against him. And just being a big jerk. It's mean it happened but listen to the staff, they don't want to tell you no. Geez.
Crazy to hear about anything in WNY, especially something from Darien Lake in the wild. I’ve ridden the Superman so many times over the years and always heard the stories about the deaths that occurred on it.
I’ll never understand why they just didn’t tell him no and let him pitch a fit and leave and refund his money, his family definitely would’ve been grateful looking back. It’s like we respect your sacrifice man but you are disabled and you should be grateful that you’re not as bad off as other veterans I’ve seen guys that got hit in the head with shrapnel and can’t even use the bathroom they are cognitively ruined these were normal intelligent guys with brain damage can’t speak require 24 hour care, that is morbidly depressing.
Guys... it's called Darien Lake, and at the time it was just Ride of Steel. It was never "the Superman" It was Superman: Ride of Steel, then just Ride of Steel when Six Flags sold the park in 2007
As a Brit, I couldn’t stop laughing at how accurate he made the British police be out to be in that situation at 31:04
British police are like monty python characters. Can't believe they didn't charge the "ride" operators of manslaughter. on second thought, I can believe it.
i was SO relieved to hear no one died on hagrids thats literally my favorite roller coaster
Aragog is dead. Should have named the `coaster after that big beautiful Spider! My God...! Healthy house is a Spider House, Just not Aragog.
After hearing meat canyon say “nevermore,” I want to hear him narrate the poem in its entirety in that creepy voice.
18:42 quick correction Papa Meat. The slide was open to the public, I actually rode it with some friends but it wasn’t open for very long before this happened. Watching how they weighed riders to qualify for the ride was insane. I remember some kids drinking water to ensure they made the minimum weight.
I thought so . I remember I was on it. When it first opened almost. The main issue with the lid is that he wasn’t supposed to be in the front and did t weigh enough
the dippin dots cart falling in the water is the funniest stupid thing i've ever heard of, god bless
Amen
LMAO
The Disney number is only 26 because their is a saying that people don’t die in Disney so even if your already dead workers will do cpr on you till you get out of the park then pronounce you dead
What the actual fuck
That's messed up!😢
I will NEVER forget that haunting video of that poor young girl getting crushed to unalive by that one ride that has musical animals. Futures of tomorrow or something like that was the name I believe. In the video you can hear her screaming as she is being crushed to unalive. It’s haunting. If you’re curious about the death the girl’s name was Debbie Stone.
Exactly the same in the mines (at least here in Britain). Workers were carried up and out as quickly as possible so the mine owners weren’t liable for the death, and therefore didn’t have to pay damages to the family. No doubt Disney operates the same ruthless mentality with even greater efficiency.
Source?
Former Holiday World employee here; we don't talk about the 'incidents' and the Koch family will eliminate your employment if they even THINK you are. Any questions about such things are to be ignored and reported to your supervisor immediately. (Per employee guidelines like.. over ten years ago when I worked there.) Lots of the employees are high schoolers, or younger people near that age making the state minimum wage of $7.25. (That's still the minimum wage.)
Those wooden coasters will beat you the fuck up every time; and I will 100% back the statements that the park frequently puts 'band-aid' fixes in place of actual repairs that are critical to guest safety. Terrible place to work, and visit tbh.
The most horrifying fact about the Matterhorn incident is that there was a gondola ride that used to go through the Matterhorn and a whole family witnessed the decapitation as it was happening. So pretty terrible. I think that’s the main reason they don’t have the gondolas anymore.
It’s a bit more mundane than that.
The concrete support for the gondola that was inside the Matterhorn was deteriorating.
It would have been cost prohibitive at the time to shut down 2 entire rides (Matterhorn and The skyway) to fix the concrete.
So the skyway was removed and the Matterhorn was boarded up where the pass thru tunnels where the sky way used to go thru the Matterhorn.
The worst are the old wooden rollercoasters. They’re rickety little death traps. Last time I went on one an exposed nail/screw under the seat in front of me ripped off my big toenail. The ride operators cleaned the puddle of blood up and kept it moving. Got a free churro though, so not the worst day I’ve had.
There are 100 year old wood coasters with no deaths and ride like they were built yesterday. Idk what you rode but don’t trash on coasters breh
There’s a terrifyingly rickety wooden roller coaster in my city that’s been around for longer than I’ve been alive and I don’t know how anyone without a death wish trusts it enough to go on it. You can hear it making the worst sounds when it’s in operation and the wood rot in some places is unreal.
@@erirausa7841Ghostrider isn’t that old, it was built in 98
When the Zipper has it's day of reckoning no amount of churros will compensate.
giant dipper Santa Cruz board walk constructed 1924 3 deaths in 100 years
I think a lot of these, “decapitations” are internal decapitations, so the head isn’t severed from the body, but the neck breaks vertically and the spinal cord is severed.
Sounds like what happened to Christopher Reeve. The fact that it didn't kill him then when it happened was surprising.
Sounds comforting.......
So like nearly headless Nick
Thanks for the clarification. Papa definitely didn't know that just like I didn't
Fun fact: Disneyland has a rule that no one is allowed to die on their property (unless it’s instant duh). They will not fully dive into life saving practices, their main concern is get them out the doors then they will dive into it till EMS arrives. Also if they do die in the park, if they can they’ll get the body off grounds and then they’ll be pronounced dead not in the park so if you get technical then they don’t die at Disneyland. They also have no doctors or real medical help at the park.
The Dreamworld incident in Queensland Aus in 2016 is one that stays with me the most. It was the "Thunder River Rapids Ride", it was malfunctioning and one of the tubes was carrying 4 adults and 2 kids. The tube was bumping against the empty one in front due to low water levels. This causes the tube full of people to flip, throwing the 2 kids to safety on the edge of the ride, but dragging the 4 adults under the water and into the machinery and conveyor belts. Their injuries where discribed "“Incompatible with life”". Horrendous accident.
I was fully expecting to see that incident listed in this vid, and was surprised that it didn't get a mention.
allegedly one of the survivors took their own life a couple years ago(the husband). They found his car in a body of water but never found him.
I remember a guy I worked with knew someone involved in getting the bodies out and they said they’ve never seen something that horrific before and they’d dealt with a lot of bodies.
As someone who was just at dreamworld a week ago thats horrifying 🙃
omg yes - this is the one that stays with me too 😭
I've said nope to rollercoasters/rides since
As a man who went to the jambalaya festival every year, I will say that the WHOLE thing was held together by gum, duc-tape, and a shit ton of hope and faith
The jambalaya festival sounds dope. In my hometown our big thing is the "hillbilly days" festival. Yours sounds way better.
They both sound redneck
I build parts of festivals in the UK an ive watched the guys build the temporary carnival rides, theyre “levelled” with wood blocks and pallets and ive seen huge rides being assembled at height by dudes with no safety equipment. Shits wild, google the showmans guild for extra fun stuff
I remember my mom sitting me and my brother down and saying this is why we don’t go to county fairs 😓
I was at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom when the Hellevator style ride got a braided cable caught across at the top before drop because of poor maintenance, it snapped when it was released and a frayed 4 inch braided cable whipped across the backs of the legs of the riders, snapping at the final rider. The poor girls feet were severed cleanly at the middle of the shin, and she fell as they floated in unison with her dismembered legs until the ride came to a stop and her feet bounced up to eye level. These are rephrased quotes from her statements to the media, my family being from Kentucky I heard all the updates... She won a multimillion dollar lawsuit and I believe there was a documentary made about it.
When it happened, we were at the opposite side of the park and didn't understand why all the helicopters were suddenly doing flyovers and the long lines had become ghost towns... so we took advantage and got front of the line and multi-rides for about 90 minutes until the staff finally made their way to our section to tell us what was going on.
What a day, eh?
Gaining the system 👊
I know a couple of people who were in line for Hellevator when it happened. They said her feet bounced off the canvas shades they have covering the queue line. Super surreal I'm sure.
I went there while visiting from out of state to volunteer for SkillsUSA at the convention center across the street. I read about that on the bus ride as I was leaving the park and heading back to my dorm. All my friends were talking about how great the Superman ride was and reading that only further cemented my fear of coasters
Is the Hellevator ride the same as the Superman one?
@@DeadlyDie yup I heard the same thing basically. odd how the news took so long to actually get to us given how close we were when it happened, it took news helicopters and a sudden absence of people for us to have to ask park employees who then didn't wanna say... so we had to ask a bunch of them to finally get a response. It was before we had cellphones so we had a scheduled pick up time as well, so there was no calling for a ride either
Hey. Kansas City resident here. My older sister was actually working at Schlitterbahn when the accident happened. she didnt see anything but the slide was in fact opened to the public before this happened. I had a field trip to the water park and rode the slide. they even gave us towels and shirts that said "I Rode Verruct". then like 2 weeks later this happened
i absolutely love where your taking the channel, all these new medias and outlets your using for your videos like puppets and animations have been so insane
It's really eye-opening to hear about all these amusement park tragedies. We often take safety measures for granted, but this clearly shows how critical they are.
Yup, there’s no rules for this shit. One day a couple of jokers made a wackey train track and got their friends to ride it, and after a few people died they started figuring it out. I bet the idea came from mine cart systems
Imagine going to foreign amusement park, seeing 2 tall fences with multiple signs clearly showing "no tresspassing" AND STILL PROCEEDING TO.
5:50 an amen to that kid and his family. He was from here in st louis and was on a trip with his school for football. The worst part about the whole thing tho is that his family was still here in st louis and found out through the news coverage. 😢 i cant imagine what his parents whent through, even moreso when finding out in that way...
My mother worked at Action Park during the 90s and had plenty of stories to tell when I first asked her about it. Grizzly stuff, I'm surprised she worked there as long as she did.
Don't wanna sound morbid, but you got any stories?
@@c.d.rstudios4691 my mom used to GO to Action Park all the time as a kid, and these motherfuckers had a looping waterslide (who the hell approved that?) and she said once that she remembers a nest of snakes hanging from the top of the loop😂
They also had a "ride" that was literally just a rope swing over a lake, and multiple men got public indecency charges for flashing people before jumping in the water

Hi, Aussie here. There's an incident that happened not too long ago (around 2016) at one of our famous theme parks: Dreamworld, and is regarded as one of the worst Australian theme park accidents since the Luna Park incident. It happened on a ride called 'Thunder River Rapids', where people sit in an oversized float (big enough for 6 people to sit comfortably in) and go into a series of rapids simualtions until they reach the end. One of the large water pumps of the ride failed, which cause one of the empty floats to become stuck on the support rails at the end of the conveyor (due to lack of water pumping it down the river). So when another float came down, with 6 passengers inside, it obviously hits the stuck float, causing them both to start vertically raising against each other, which ended with 4 of the six passengers falling out and fatally perishing into the mechanics underneath. The ride has since been shut down and dismantled due to this incident.

while it is very sad that anyone dies at amusement parks you can still count the yearly deaths on one hand meaning they relatively safe especially compared to deaths from car crashes and you are more likely to die by tripping while walking
“The Mindbender” roller coaster at West Edmonton Mall had a car come off the track back in 1986. Three people died when it crashed to the ground. the other person in the car survived but with a lot of injuries. The ride was re-opened a year later, and was in use without incident until it was closed a couple years ago. Most of it was removed but i think they left the loop structures intact.
there was a submarine ride in the mall which is also gone now. someone got drunk (there are a few bars in the mall) and dove into the water after hours. they were spotted in the water and told to get out by security they were found floating dead in the morning by a patron of the mall.
Yeah I’ve ridden that one, just found out they had it taken down but now the cars are being used at a park in america
I'm from Sweden, and a few months ago the nearest theme park was planning on opening a pool. It caught on fire whilst it was being built and killed a few construction workers.
fact check: one worker
These places can be so dangerous. As a kid I had no fear. Not a good combo.
A pool, on fire?
@@shadow1150zz exactly, the irony is on a whole nother level
H….how does that happen?
Watching papa meat interaction with lil characters brings me the nostalgia of being a mere child in my pjs and turning on the tv to watch adults interact with silly little characters keep it up papa meat we are loving this
Ugh, I feel so bad for Tamar. Because as someone who is also under 100lbs, I’ve never had good experiences with roller coasters. I rode some once at Holiday World, and almost every single one of them just had a stupid metal bar over the legs. Because I was so skinny, the bar would just hover right above my belly button, and I could feel myself levitating at every drop, as if I would slip out and fly outta my seat if my toes didn’t grip the crease in the seats in front of me for dear life. So, never again. I need shoulder restraints to convince me to ride another one.
The magic of rollercoaster restraints is not that they are pressing down on you, but really they are keeping your body in a bent/sitting shape. You're locked in like a puzzle where the only way to get out would be if you were missing parts of your legs, hence the amputee laws, or to twist out very intentionally. As long as you hit the height requirement you're guaranteed to not be able to slip out. Even if you can completely float up off the seat. They are clever in that they make it feel more dangerous then it is. However, lots of modern rides do a new type of smooth moving bar that doesn't do that clicking down in steps thing. So it's squeezing you exactly to your leg size. You can even make your legs kind of numb by really crushing yourself when getting on if you really wanted. But I bet you would find those a lot more comforting.
The funny thing tho is it definitely sounds like are not the kind of person for wooden rollercoasters, and Holiday World's thing is that its mostly wooden rollercoasters... I'm sorry that must have been such a rough introduction for you!
levitating is literally the fun part of coasters
We build these giant machines specifically meant to throw people around at high velocity like they're beans in a tin can, and then we have the temerity to act shocked and indignant when a few people sometimes die on the people-flinging machines.
The Ghost Train is actually a haunting story. The story is that a supposed actor from the park stopped to take a picture with a young kid. Turns out the masked person didn't work there, wasn't identified and dissappeared before the fire start. The picture that is synonymous with the Ghost Train gives me chills up my whole body.
Ooo it's totally creepy! There's a Netflix docuseries about it too!
do you have a link to the image or a google search I can use to find it?
edit: nvm, found it, google: "Mysterious Sydney Ghost Train Fire Pictre reddit"
it is the last photograph of Damien Godson taken before he perished in the Ghost Train fire.
no way i had no idea that photo was connected to the ghost train fire!
It gets worse. The mask that the person was wearing was eerily similar to that of a deity(I don’t remember of which culture) that was worshipped by sacrificing children in fire.
@@fleshbunniemy comment got deleted automatically but yes in that photo that child got killed in the ghost train fire
The fact there are at least 3 deaths from these attractions just shows how rare they are. They’re like plane crashes. There’s a reason you see plane crashes and park attraction incidents on the news, but not car crashes unless they’re fatal. And most of them are caused by negligence and stupidity.
Yeah and like 3.7 deaths per year between 1990-2004? I think more people get killed by cows. It's super rare and it sounds lile half of them are caused by people having a temporary lapse in better judgment (their LAST lapse in better judgment, for sure)
Wooden coasters are a lot of fun (and statistically extremely safe), but they take a lot of maintenance to keep running smoothly. Voyage at Holiday World is one of the tallest and fastest wooden tracked roller coasters in the world and at such high speeds, it will cause a lot more wear and tear, resulting in a "rough" ride. There have been woodies that have been built even taller, most notably Son of Beast at Kings Island, which was fairly notorious for an extremely rough ride and injuring riders (it also had a loop, but the loop was the least of the ride's problems). As for the accident on the Raven, the person who fell out was apparently an enthusiast and allegedly had her lap bar slightly loose in order to feel more "airtime".
I've been on a wooden one before, scary as hell. Glad to know there a bit more, safe.
Why did he keep calling it “holiday land” loo
@@RendezvouDoo yeah, I went on a decently big wooden one once and it basically gave me whiplash and I never went on another coaster cause my insides couldn’t handle it anymore
26:23 My dad was there the day before the fire. Which was pretty freaky to think about when going to Luna Park in 2018 and had this lil mouse coaster with car seatbelts despite having drops lol
The euthanasia Rollercoaster was also designed as a hypothetical way for people with terminal conditions to pass on their own terms as well
If I remember correctly, when the passenger gets to the top of the hill, there's a long enough pause for them to push a button that immediately activates the brakes so an operator can get them out. Like a last chance to back out sort of thing. He also forgot to mention that part.
Dreamworld in QLD, Australia could be its own video. A teenager stood up on the log flume, fell out as it went down and got crushed - yet survived! And of course a few months later, the 2016 rapid river ride disaster which is such a graphic and horrific incident. Worth a deep dive for sure.
Yeah wow I remember seeing the water rapid deaths on the news. That must have been so damn horrifying for everyone involved. That was permanently shut down right? I moved to NSW so I have been to a QLD theme park in a while.
24:03 Im terrified of rollercoasters, and also have this irrational fear that I accidentally kill somebody- and then have to live with myself…
the idea of not only killing someone, but knowing it was my own legs that decapitated them … new fear combo unlocked💀
Then don't watch this video or others like it, channels like this who do little to no research are basically fear mongering. Roller Coasters are EXTREMELY safe, deaths and injuries are so uncommon, but the media and people like him blow the ones that do happen WAY out of proportion. You know nearly 50 thousand people die each year in car crashes in just the US, right? Yet on average only 2 people die on amusement rides every year in the US. Why are you more scared of one then the other
11:01 The sheer panic you feel when a wasp lands on you while you're all buckled in at an amusement park is hard to do justice to.
Aussie here. Something they don’t often tell people is that the ghost train arson ended up having a lot of evidence linking back to the local mafia. Supposedly it was over a land dispute and no one was supposed to get hurt. The cops were apparently paid off and nobody ever got any formal charges.
Never took Australia to be the kind of place to be mafia cucked
That poor kid that fell from the drop tower. Breaks my heart Everytime I hear about it. I hope his family is ok.
Yea. Real sad.
I'm pretty sure another guy died at extreme world on the go carts.
Something similar happened in Santa Clara At Great America. We had The Drop Zone there...I knew the kid. He was a cousin of one of my friends. We lived on Lafayette and Laurie in Santa Clara. We could see the Drop Zone from the apartments. The kid he was a cousin of lived one apartment block over from me. Nobody was surprised, everyone always talked about how they probably shouldn't be taking him to go on Rides like that because he was known for wiggling out of things. This was the 90s, so he was a "leash kid" and would wiggle out of that, car seat belts, and previously had almost fallen out of a Ride at Great America (I think Top Gun)
9:50 thats electrocuted cardiac arrest in a river ride. Worse case scenario you are struggling to swim and galet air as your leg gets paralyzed. You are panicking as your heart is racing, it hurts from the electricity. No matter how much you struggle and flail to get oxegen, to swim that pain in your chest is causing you to loose consciousness. Your body goes weak as the last thing you notice are your lungs filling with water.... Secondary to the fact your heart had already stopped. Your limbs cannot move, you drown as you fall unconscious. You pass out from the cardiac arrest before you fully drown.
There were seconds where the brain was conscious but the heart was dead, making you conscious of drowning unable to fight back, unable to swim.
In like 20 seconds your brain flatlines after your heart stops.Your not aware enough during a cardiac arrest to feel anything.I had one
@@frankf684 I have an ICD and have experienced cardiac arrest. The feeling of all your blood suddenly becoming stagnant is the most bizarre and scary feeling. All while your vision is quickly fading and your legs give out. Then right before you slip into sleep, BAM the defibrillator shocks you to correct the rhythm. .. May i ask what happened to you? i have CPVT
@@MattMcKnn You can feel your blood stopping? What's that even like? And when you feel it moving again, do you become aware of it like you can become aware of breathing and blinking?
@@frankf684Long QT Syndrome sufferer here.
You feel your heart stop and your body shut down. If you are standing it's more sudden as you don't even feel your body stop.
Not the best feelings.
Glad you survived your cardiac arrest. Not all do and I've lost a family member and nearly lost another to that.
I’m an amusement ride inspector for Oklahoma. That Kansas water slide accident is actually what caused Oklahoma to implement an amusement ride inspection program.

@LaundryLunatic I was wasting time not being born yet when I COULD have been getting a lawsuit pay out and been rich smfh
I’ve worked at the Darien Lake Six Flags, love Ride of Steel but what happened is super freaky. Loved being a ride op as a coaster enthusiast who’s been to the IAAPA convention and does all that kinda stuff but man, it is stressful having so many people’s lives in your hands. I worked on a pretty small coaster in comparison to Ride of Steel but I still was stressing like “What if that kid I OK’d is actually 1 cm too short and they fall out?!? What if someone secretly weaseled out of the restraints last second and I don’t notice!?!?”
Also people would regularly stand closer than they were supposed to even though there’s bright yellow lines, jump the chain when we hadn’t let them in yet, try to rush onto the coaster as we were closing the gates, etc.
Makes it easy to see how most accidents these days are by human error.
I agree 100 % with nick about buying a house if someone died in it if its cheap.

My neighbor TJ worked at Scatterbahn when this happened. I can’t remember if he was working that day or not but I remember him recalling how much that death rocked the younger staff.

The Ghost Train Ride having a entrance that said "Hell's Doorway" is some final destination 3 shit
The big fuckin demon sculpture in the beginning of final destination 3 was voiced by tony todd. And it had realistic nuts
This man keeps me entertained whilst I think of my life.
Verruckt at Schlitterbahn was definitely open for a little while. I went on it the summer it opened. You had to get on a scale and they would match you up with other riders to make sure you were within a specific total weight range
23:50 just a heads up (pun intended), decapitation can also be internal. So if the force severs the skull from the neck, but the skin and muscle remains intact, it is still considered a "decapitation". So its not like she literally kicked the dudes head off of his body.
Yea also he apparently died an hour later and his name was Hector Mendoza
Holiday World slaps. one of the few things that hasn't gotten worse as I've gotten older. Super underrated.
Lol I was looking for a comment like this I love that place too!
so true (i work there tehe)
@@liz2 Lucky! Yeah it will always have my respect for not charging for their water and soft drinks. It makes going in the summer a lot easier.
I went last summer and forgot they raised their prices to 70 bucks so I was pissed, rode the coasters for the first time despite going a lot when I was younger so I guess it was alright.
There was another ride here in Australia maybe 5 years ago or so where a river rapid ride malfunctioned and flipped over causing several of the people on the ride to get pulled through the mechanism that pulled the rafts and effectively mincing them up. Happened at Dreamworld in Queensland
😳 no.... Sounds absolutely horrific

14:54, as someone from Missouri who has been on Timber Wolf… I too am amazed it got a green light to begin with.
When it first opened it was smooth and a good ride but over time on a wood coaster. If they don’t replace the wood track every 4-5 years it’s gets unbearably rough. That’s why there are 100 year old wood coasters with no deaths and ride like they were built yesterday
@@SupremeCoasters I can imagine! Plus the cost of renovation, maintenance and any repairs could be outrageous I’d assume. It was interesting to be on something that felt like it had history though. However, as someone who just related to his reaction and who also felt the unease of the ride, just thought it was funny!
I rode Verruckt at Schlitterbahn about two months after it opened. I was up front, and it lived up to its name: Insane.
There was a weight limit to that front seat, you had to be 150 lbs minimum, that kid definitely did not meet the weight minimum, which is why the front lifted up, and sent him flying into the netting.
There's definitely something freaky about riding a roller coaster as a kid and having the thought that it was unsafe, only to grow up and look into it more to find out about previous injuries/fatalities. For me that ride was Knott's wooden coaster, Ghostrider. I remember it was bumpy and had insane whiplash. When I was older, my mom told me she held on tightly to my little brother since she was scared my he wasn't secured well enough. Granted, I don't think there have been many accidents on that specific coaster, but it still doesn't sit right with me. I'm sure it's been adjusted since the time I rode it, but man. It was rough.
I would want to be flung from a roller coaster into a water ride with a live wire; if I’m going to an amusement park I’d want the whole experience.
